Buying from Yahoo! Japan Auctions

[Blue_Kirby2]

How would I go about doing this? I can't read Japanese and I've heard that I need the service of somebody in Japan to bid on the auction, pay the seller and have the seller ship the item to them, then have them ship the item to myself.

I was doing a lot of browsing both there and Amazon.co.jp a couple days ago and I can get around through Google's Japanese > English translator (yes, I know there are flaws in that).

I'd be interested in getting to know how to buy off Amazon.co.jp as well, but I don't think I'll be using that for a while as the prices are comparable to that of CDJapan/VGMWorld/etc. So Yahoo! Japan is my main priority right now. I'd especially love to get a copy of this album from there as I can't find it up for sale anywhere else.
